Almost feels like an old dodgy carby! Idles rough as shoots fuel out the back and get even rougher if I touch the throttle and stalls. I have driven a few times when cold, if I stop instead of rolling through say a giveway sign, the car will stop and cant be started for a few mins, only then holding the throttle flat (like a carby) will it start again. Other than that any attempts earlier it'll just keep winding over and getting too much fuel. 120psi across all 6 so its getting tired but doesnt use or blow smoke.

Also to add to my other post about rough, sluggish between gear changes at times, slowly feed the loud pedal its normally ok, but mash it and grab 3rd it runs rough like its dropped a cylinder untill I back right off, let it coast then re apply the throttle

It was doing it with my stock coil packs, now ive put ls1 coils on and still doing it. .8 for the plugs. No smoke test as yet, only an issue really when cold or occasionally after a flogging. My afr gauge reads fine however I suspect the fuel pump may be a problem

Are you using a real wideband or those stupid narrowband gauges that show absolutely nothing but flashing lights.

By the way, LS coils will need more ignition dwell time to work properly. Given the fact you're using a stock ECU I am under the assumption there isn't enough spark generated

45psi base. Thing is, first cold start is shit as any throttle input it runs even rougher and sometimes stalls and will crank over for about 15 seconds then fire like its flooded! Fuel pump appears to work fine as its holding 10.4 afrs at full throttle. Ive changed afm cas tps ecu fpr and still doing it. Does it occasionally between 2nd and 3rd shits where I have to back off coast for a bit and re apply throttle to run smooth again

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
